The recent tension between the US, Israel, and Iran has escalated following Iranian missile attacks in April and October. President Joe Biden is discussing possible retaliatory strikes on Iranian oil facilities with Israel, ruling out targeting nuclear facilities. The US advises Israel on military actions, with Israel considering a significant response to Iran’s attacks near Tel Aviv. Former Prime Minister Ehud Barak suggests an attack on oil facilities alongside nuclear strikes. The situation has garnered criticism from Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, advocating for a harsher response. Iran has warned of an unconventional response to Israeli attacks, escalating threats between the countries. The Supreme Leader of Iran and other officials have vowed to retaliate against any aggression, emphasizing their commitment to defending against Israel. Amidst these tensions, efforts for a ceasefire in Lebanon and Gaza are underway, but any Israeli action against Iran could lead to stronger retaliation. The situation remains tense as all parties navigate the delicate balance of power in the region.
